BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Definition and scope of CN subheading 842122

CN subheading 842122 covers machinery for filtering or purifying beverages other than water. This subheading includes filters for beer, wine, fruit juices, milk and other beverages used in the food and brewing industries. Classification follows the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI), particularly rules 1 and 6. The key criterion is the intended use for filtering beverages, distinguishing it from water filters (842121) and oil filters (842123). Membrane filters, diatomaceous earth filters, sheet filters and candle filters used in beverage production are classified under this subheading. Equipment must be intended for a filtering process rather than other processing operations. For borderline cases Binding Tariff Information (BTI) ruling is recommended.

Import requirements and regulations for beverage filters (842122)

Importing beverage filtering equipment under subheading 842122 into the EU requires compliance with the Union Customs Code and food safety regulations. Equipment in contact with beverages must comply with Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 on materials intended for food contact. Construction materials, typically food-grade stainless steel, must meet hygiene standards and must not release substances affecting the taste, odour or safety of beverages. The Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 applies to complete filtration lines. CE marking and an EU declaration of conformity are mandatory. The importer must hold an EORI number and file a customs declaration. Documentation includes commercial invoice, technical specifications, food-contact certificates and transport documents. MFN and preferential rates should be verified in TARIC.

Industrial applications of beverage filters (842122)

Beverage filters classified under subheading 842122 play a critical role in beverage production. In brewing, filters remove yeast, proteins and other particles from beer, imparting clarity. In winemaking, filters clarify must and wine and provide microbiological stabilisation before bottling. In the juice industry, filters clarify and sterilise fruit juices. In dairy, membrane filters purify whey and concentrate proteins. Main filter types include membrane filters, plate filters, candle filters and diatomaceous earth filters. Each type is tailored to the specific requirements of the beverage. Spare parts are classified under subheading 842199. Importers should check TARIC for preferential rates under EU FTA agreements to optimise beverage production line equipment costs.

Beverage filtering apparatus - EU food hygiene requirements

CN code 8421 22 covers beverage filtering apparatus. Import requires compliance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and food hygiene requirements (Regulation EC 852/2004 and EC 1935/2004 for food contact). Materials in contact with food must meet EN standards for stainless steel and plastics. CE marking is mandatory.
